The research activity focuses on some main topics.
The first
area of research concerns the role of the domestic courts in the
implementation of the Law of the European Union. This analysis aims
to examine which effects the domestic judges have to recognize to
the Law of the EU within their national legal system.
The second
research area focuses on the contribution of the EU in promoting
the principles of the rule of law in the international arena. The
purpose of this analysis is to evaluate the role of the EU,
especially in its external as well as internal dimension, in the
realization of an international legal system based on the rule of
law.
The research on the international criminal justice aims mainly
to examine the role of the EU in promoting this specific area of
international law. The same can be said about the immigration law,
where, however, the internal dimension in the realization of the
Member States' common policy is also important.
Finally, in the
last years, I started to research on anti-discrimination European
law, concerning both gender and LGBT issues.
